Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) continues to be a global public health burden even after a
tremendous development in its treatment. It is a heterogeneous cancer of upper aero-digestive tract . The contemporary
strategy to treat cancer is the use of anticancer drugs against proteins possessing abnormal expression. Targeted
chemotherapy was found successful in HNSCC but still, there is a stagnant improvement in the survival rates and high
recurrence rates due to undesirable chemotherapy reactions, non-specificity of drugs, resistance against drugs and drug
toxicity on non-cancerous tissues and cells. Various extensive studies lead to the identification of drug targets capable to
treat HNSCC effectively. The current review article gives an insight into these promising anticancer targets along with
knowledge of drugs under various phases of development. In addition, new potential targets that are not yet explored against
HNSCC are also described. We believe that exploring and developing drugs against these targets might prove beneficial in
treating HNSCC.
Though DBS is suiting well to Parkinson`s still its current version being modified now and often as suggested by the neuroscientists. The technique has gained an effectual management surgical therapy concerned to PD, explicitly whilst growing idea as an effectual method to alleviate Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. The present ver.1 indirect DBS is an open loop based and its parameters are changeable manually and there is no provision to adjust automatically or online based on Parkinson diseased behavior and performance. Hence, supervised classification of patient behavior is a major and significant step towards the design of next generation DBS systems which are adaptive closed loop based. The work in this study demonstrates a supervised classification machine learning (CML, i.e., multiple kernel learning M-K-L) method to distinguish such cognitive behavioral tasks by using the subthalamic nuclei (STN) biomarkers, i.e., biomedical data of microelectrode recording (MER) bio signals (or local field potential LFP). We applied the time domain and frequency domain representation spectrograms of the raw data acquired from right and left hemisphere brain`s STNs as the feature vectors. Following the feature extractions, we combined those features via support vector machines (SVMs) with complex multifaceted root learning, i.e., C-M-L or multi kernel learning (M-K-L) formulation. The C-M-L based classification techniques were applied to a class and categorize different tasks such as switch (push-pull button), movement of jaws, vocalizations, plus movement of arm due to the tremor. Our experiments show that the l - n o r m C-M-L/M-K-L radically smash distinct kernel SVM-based classifiers in classifying behavioral tasks of five subjects even using signals acquired with a low sampling rate of 10 Hz. This leads to a lower computational cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
